MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy for deep-seated gliomas in children with neurofibromatosis type 1: report of two cases.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeNearly a quarter of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF 1)- associated diencephalic low-grade tumors are refractory to chemotherapy. Addition of alternative treatment options with laser interstitial thermal therapy will have a positive impact on the outcome of these patients.
methodsWe report on two illustrated cases of pediatric NF1- associated, chemoresistant, WHO grade 1 pilocytic astrocytomas treated with laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT).
resultsBoth tumors responded favorably to LITT.
conclusionLITT should be considered as a treatment option for chemoresistant deep-seated NF1-associated low-grade gliomas.
